Hi all,

I did the AAC and Air Reg clean recently and now my car idles higher then before i cleaned them!

It's currently idling at 1100 and sometimes goes up a couple of hundred.

Not sure what the problem could be.

Tried turning the AAC screw but wouldn't bring the revs down and if i turned it down to much the car stalls when engine is cold but when warm it stays alive but idles 1100+

Anyone know if the Air Reg is meant to have a tiny gap/hole when normal? I recall when i assembled it together after cleaning it i looked through the hole/pipe and i noticed it's not fully blocked off and there was a little gap/hole.

If that should be fully closed then that might be why i got high idle?!

Any other suggestions would be great!

Thanks.

You need to disconnect one of the plugs on the AAC valve I'm pretty sure to adjust it

Or maybe one of the TPS plugs?

Sorry don't remember which one. But once you do this your revs will drop so if you've wound it in it might stall.

i had a funny feeling it was the aac plug because if its still plugged in the computer can open or close the AAC valve? But hey it probably is the TPS. It should work if you can get it into base idle mode anyway.... dunno why it wasnt changing the idle

Screw in for revs down and screw out for revs up I think?

Been far to long since ive had to do this lol

Perhaps try resetting the stock ECU if its still the standard one

the idle adjust screw has a small rubber o-ring around the inside. maybe when you put it back together you left the o-ring out? it shouldnt even be removable really, from memory it has a strip in the centre that is threaded thru the middle of the idle screw. but mine had come off when i pulled it apart.

Unplug the AAC when adjusting the AAC idle screw. The air regulator should be fully open when cold and will close as the engine warms up. It should be fully closed when the surrounding temp reaches approx 60degs.

according to the r33 workshop manual you only unplug the AAC valve on a GTR. on rb20 and rb25 powered cars you unplug the TPS.

If it is an R32 with RB20DET the AAC connector should be disconnected which is the same for the R32 RB26DETT. If it is an R33 or R34 RB25 it is the TPS. I double checked with the R32, R33 and R34 workshop manuals.

This sounds about right

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
